I arrived 7oz lighter than my sister, Lydia, with distinct physical differences. I had more hair, a longer face, and rounder eyes, while Lydia boasted chubbier cheeks, lighter hair, and slightly more almond-shaped eyes. With hats on, we looked identical, but once they were removed, our individuality emerged, as if we were already fighting to be recognized as two separate individuals, even at just a day old.
My experiences as an identical twin have granted me a unique empathy for celebrity sisters, like the Kardashians, particularly Khloé, who has candidly shared the challenges of being endlessly compared to her siblings. In the latest season of "The Kardashians," Khloé revealed how these constant comparisons damaged her mental health, making her feel inadequate and ultimately leading her to undergo cosmetic surgery to alter her appearance. Lydia and I have lived a life of endless comparisons, which is perhaps inevitable for identical twins. The fascination surrounding twins often overshadows the impact of these comparisons on our well-being and sense of self. Our physical appearance, from our faces to body shapes, becomes the subject of public scrutiny, often disregarding the toll it takes on our mental health.

At just 14 years old, Lydia and I entered a regional modeling competition, where our twin status had garnered us local fame. However, it was a rude awakening when Lydia advanced to the final round while I did not. Suddenly, I became acutely aware of my perceived flaws - unfashionable glasses, a slightly crooked tooth in my smile, and the slope of my shoulders. In Lydia, I saw a version of myself that seemed unattainably flawless and enhanced, leaving me feeling inadequate.

This experience ignited a deep-seated insecurity that persisted long after university. For a decade, I compared myself negatively to the girl I was meant to be a carbon copy of. While others saw our similarities, I saw only grotesque differences. Unhelpfully, photographers found our uniqueness captivating, leading to numerous photoshoots where I felt like the "ugly sister" briefly brought out just to avoid hurting my feelings, while Lydia seemed to shine gloriously, captivating the camera with her enchanting eyes and sharp cheekbones.

I embarked on a quest to change my appearance drastically, hoping to invite fewer comparisons and regain autonomy. I experimented with different hairstyles, piercings, and even dyed my hair pink, setting myself apart from Lydia's angelic blonde locks. Yet, these efforts seemed to draw even more attention and commentary. Eventually, I succumbed to chasing Lydia's perceived perfection, getting contact lenses and adult braces to correct what I perceived as flaws. Interestingly, Lydia's recollection of those years is different. She bluntly stated that I was thinner, which made her feel self-conscious about her own body. At 16, she was put on a contraceptive pill that caused weight gain, intensifying her battle with body image. Through her prism of experience, those years were anything but identical to mine.
